Ad tracking isn't new—luxury brands used to place their advertisements specifically in newspapers that delivered to high-income zip codes.

To help us better understand how charity organizations utilize ad tracking tools—and why that could concern some users—we’re speaking with Chris Boyd, lead malware intelligence analyst for Malwarebytes.
